Disney western
-Year: 2013
-Country: USA
-Who in clothing: boys ~5-9
-Available on DVD: yes
-B&W or color: color
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: very low
-Rating: 2/10 ?
-Rating: **
-Comment: I think some few and very young kids only. Maybe I missed some supporting actors but I doubt of much better scenes.

A boy (Bryant Prince as Danny) in very dark brown greyish clothes and a flat hat (dark red shirt) with long dark blond hair and some boys in a train. Pic 1 at 16 minutes. Pic 2 taken from the trailer.

I think I have checked most of the movie but couldn’t find better scenes.

The latest and one of the few real Disney westerns. Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, nominated for 2 Oscars.

Rating 1-2 only. I also don’t like the movie itself. Set in 1868 and 1933. The early, family orientated Disney classics of the 1950s-70s are much better (more movies coming soon).

DEFA family film
-Year: 1982
-Country: East Germany
-Who in clothing: Alex 10
-Available on DVD: yes
-B&W or color: color
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: medium
-Rating: 5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Frank Träger in good cowboy clothes including beige chaps, light blue jeans pants and vest and a flat Zorro like hat. Also riding (on own horse as well as together with Gojko Mitic). Also a girl in beige bib overalls (soon on my overalls blog) and cowboy men with chaps. Many other kids at school but not in western clothes. There are scenes in modern setting (like riding in the streets) as well as real western setting like in a saloon. (Day-dreaming)

English title “The Long Ride to School”. Novel by Gerhard Holtz-Baumert.

I found it during research for my Lederhosen blog but heard of it earlier before having this blog. I haven’t seen this complete movie yet. Available as single DVD or on an Icestorm version with another movie.

Looks quite interesting but I think rather few good scenes (?)

Also starring Gojko Mitic who did lots of East German westerns. I wonder why there were westerns allowed in East Germany.

I don’t know how many western scenes there are in here and although I don’t like much East German westerns and East German movies (except for handsome actors or Lederhosen scenes) this one might be one of the few or even the only East German western featuring a kid (even an older blond boy and even with chaps). I have to check it out and hope for a soon broadcasting.

Rating 5-6 for now.

Update: I now have seen the 2nd half of the movie. A bit disappointing. The boy isn’t very handsome as first assumed. The jeans have a black seat pad or patch between the legs. However good plot and quite good and funny western scenes.

Western starring Donald Sutherland
-Year: 1974
-Country: Canada
-Who in clothing: boys ~8
-Available on DVD: yes
-B&W or color: color
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: medium ?
-Rating: 4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: One boy in different interesting clothes. Is this James O’Shea? Shorter grey pants and long black stockings and also a brief scene at a burial in a sailor suit (rating 3). Also a very good bedroom scene (soon on my bedroom blog, rating 5).

Aka Dan Candy’s Law. Based upon a true story. Also available on archive.org (I wonder why) but not in widesceen.

But I think I somehow don’t like this movie itself. And I think rather few good scenes of the boy.

About

Ratings are my personal thoughts. TV only stands for TV series. Films are all kind of films (feature, short or TV).
Riding tagged only for notable scenes of kids, teens or women as riding men is nothing special. Kids only means westerns starring only kids. Not Western means not a real western movie but still western setting and/or western clothes. Italy means Spaghetti westerns. Women only tagged, if either strong women with a cowboy hat or other clothes of interest like overalls or sailor dresses. Modern setting means 1900 or later.
